Anyone have any updates? Do you think they finished all their calls today? I wonder if they will continue Monday or if they will continue calls on Monday.

Assuming alphabetical order and in order of interview, I don't think ill get a call. My last name starts with an A and I interviewed in August.

I want to wish everyone here good luck getting into your dream school! I hope people are not too stressed out by this process. It's so difficult to get into medical school, and we should be proud to have gotten this far.

In the same boat with you my friend! I think they update portals on Monday. So if we don't receive a call until then, our status will likely be updated there. Good luck!

From what they told us during my interview, they usually review applications on the 2nd and 4th Monday of every month and make calls the following Tuesdays

What do you mean by that? Like it just changed so you don't think you are a part of the initial acceptance group? Also how do you plan on advocating for yourself? submitting app updates?
Click to expand...
No, I was sent an email and received a portal update. Advocating through updates & letter of intent.

my app is still on "thank you for scheduling your interview," despite having interviewed 9/9 🙁 I contacted them about it already and no change. hoping I'm not reading into this

You're totally fine! Maybe the committee hasn't met yet or they have, and your portal just hasn't updated. Don't read into it too much
 
I did not receive a continued consideration or acceptance call... anyone know what boat I'm in? I am thinking likely continued consideration but they just need to update my portaL?

I did my interview in August.

Good luck to everyone this cycle <3

Aww I'm sorry to hear that you had a question-heavy interview. I hope it went well!

No worries! It was still a great interview experience and I got an A 🙂 One of them was more conversational, so I wasn't really able to highlight some key things from my application, so I actually liked how my other one was more question-heavy

I will be interviewing next week as an OOS applicant and am curious to know about what to expect from those who have already interviewed. Since they are two 45 min interviews, do they ask more traditional II questions/school-based q's?

Thanks!

Very chill and conversational. However still prepare as much as you can because you don’t want to get a hard question and not do you best. I say prepare like it’s gonna be hard but just go in there being your self.
 
Interviewing in two weeks! Maybe some current students could help with this question - does anyone have some good insights into the Jesuit tradition specifically for the Jesuit medical schools? I feel like their website mentions "Jesuit Tradition" a lot, but then follows with a generic definition. Don't want to go in unprepared on that front! Thanks!

Fellow applicant here but raised catholic and attended a Jesuit middle school:
at a very high level, Jesuit gets at the idea of commitment— particularly, a commitment to others to practice whole (hence holistic admissions probably) and just care irregardless of who patients appear to be or what they have and do not have

Got the call this morning!

Good luck to everyone going through this process. I know how stressful it is. I spent the last few days going a little crazy. My recommendation is to avoid looking at this forum as much as I did and trust that good things will come <3

II received, OOS! looking for some advice: has anyone on here picked the in-person interview over the virtual? trying to decide if I want to go in-person, though the only available date is a month later than the virtual dates.

I did the opposite, picked the online interview over in-person. Remember that it is rolling admission, and you can always see the school on second look day 🙂

true!! I think because this is my first MD II I’m getting excited about the actually possibility of seeing a school in-person rather than over zoom like with the other interviews I’ve had - this is a good point, though
